The Third Annual Pepperdine Healthcare Forum in partnership with RAND Corporation

This year’s event will focus on the current state of healthcare delivery and the benefits of integrated information technology. The ever-rising burden of healthcare costs to businesses, consumers and patients is a top priority on the national agenda. So we ask:

Will making your medical data available to you and your doctors really improve the quality of care and lessen the financial burden on your family while also providing a savings to businesses?

To help answer this we are pleased that one of one of our nation’s leading thought leaders in healthcare policy and issues, Robert Brook, MD, professor and distinguished chair in health services at the Pardee RAND Graduate School, professor of medicine at UCLA will fire off the discussion in his keynote address. Our distinguished panelists will share unique insights gained from their years as leaders in their respective industries.

• Michael Critelli, former CEO Pitney Bowes
• Paul De Muro, senior partner at the law firm of Latham & Watkins
• Khan Siddiqui, MD, Principal Program Manager, Microsoft

Dear Alumni,

Details are below:
Join us for a Speed Networking/Crafting Your Elevator Pitch Night on Thursday, April 5, 2012 from 6:30 – 8:30 pm at UNC Kenan-Flagler’s Business School in the Kenan Center Dining Room.

This joint event is hosted by UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School, Duke Fuqua School of Business and Northwestern Kellogg School of Management and will be facilitated by Matthew Temple, Director, Kellogg Alumni Career Services.

Kellogg’s most popular alumni workshop, presented in 12 cities and 5 countries, is coming to North Carolina. You will have the opportunity to create and deliver your elevator pitch to a small group of 5-8 people at your round table, receive feedback, network with other MBA alumni, and trade company names and contacts. This event is very structured, so you don’t have to worry about how to approach people and what to say. It’s great for alumni who may be uncomfortable with networking and for alumni who are in a job search or trying to gain new clients or investors. Participants who attended this session had the following comments:

“Good to get a number of opinions and constructive criticism to improve my pitch”
“Outstanding. A great opportunity to practice with others”

We’ll spend:
• 30 minutes crafting your elevator pitch on our worksheet
• 90 minutes speed networking

Bring lots of business cards and a sense of humor.

Cost: Free including food and beverages.

Register online.
